Veterans Day

Veterans Day is very important at our school. We have a big assembly every year to honor those who have served for our country. All of the students write essays, poems, learn songs, and create artwork and then we invite Veterans to the school to enjoy the performances. It is always a great experience for students, the Veterans and their families. I am in charge of directing a patriotic art project for each grade and then hanging up the artwork in the multi-purpose room. I was so proud of all of my students!

Sorry for the sloppy photos...I didn't have time to crop! My third graders drew these portraits of soldiers. CUTEST thing I've ever seen!

About Me

I am beginning my third year teaching Art to grades K-9 at a wonderful charter school. Blogs by other Art teachers make my lesson planning so much easier and much more fun! I love having a whole online group of art colleagues. I hope to be able to share some ideas that are worth trying out in your own classroom. Some of my ideas are original and some of the ideas on this page are ones that I have borrowed and tweaked a little to fit my lesson objectives. Feel free to borrow anything you see here and if you do, I would love to see your results!
